OBJECTIVES
• Qualitatively determine relationship between friction
losses, Reynolds number, and relative roughness
• Estimate orifice meter coefficient
• Estimate absolute roughness of PVC pipe

ROTAMETERS
13
• Height of float is directly
proportional to fluid flow rate.
This one measures in percent
flow.
PROCEDURE
• Produce rotameter calibration curve
• Direct flow using valves on assembly
• Connect DP cell to pressure taps on desired pipe or
component
• Set flow to 100% flow on rotameter, and begin decreasing
until 0%, recording DP meter output along the way
• Run procedure for 1" pipe, 3/4" pipe, and orifice meter

IN CONCLUSION
Relative roughness of pipe
Produced result 10X larger than expected, 0.014mm as
opposed to accepted value of 0.0015mm, error most likely
from differential pressure meter readings being off
22
IN CONCLUSION
Orifice meter coefficient
Value of 0.75 is slightly high, however reasonable given the
accepted value is 0.6-0.65
